Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. “Tasting Note: Salmon pink; abundant plum and red berry notes on the nose; aromas translate to the palate which is dry, medium bodied; with a crisp citrus styled finish. Serving Suggestion: Serve tonight with shrimp cocktail.” And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine was metallic and long, presenting light acidity. I then nibbled on slightly sweet Japanese rice crackers with peanuts; in response this rosé was rather flat. The main dish was a meatless lasagna made with spinach noodles. Now the wine’s acidity perked up and it showed some citrus. The fresh raspberries for dessert took away this rosé’s flavor.

This review continues on my website.
